Ever have too much of a good thing?
The Jewish people became fabulously wealthy from all of the gold and jewels that washed up on shore from their drowned enslavers, Pharaoh and his army.
What to do with so much gold? Well, some troublemakers figured making a Golden Calf and worshipping it would be just the right thing.
What was G-d’s response? Get rid of all the gold? No! Take your gold, silver and copper and build a beautiful Temple in the desert!
Everything in this world can be used for good or bad. Sometimes, one of our gifts in life actually leads us astray down the wrong path. The Torah’s answer to that is not necessarily to dump it all, but rather to redirect that talent, gift or energy toward something good.
